Who can use a Westalee Ruler Foot?
Well, almost anyone, the Westalee Ruler foot has been designed to fit Low Shank and High Shank Domestic Sewing Machines like - Pfaff - Husqvarna - Janome - Bernina - Brother - Juki - Singer
Pfaff - most Pfaff machines are Low Shank
Husqvarna - most Husqvarna machines are Low Shank
Janome - have both Low Shank and High Shank machines
Bernina - have both Low Shank and High Shank machines (with Bernina machines you will need a shank adaptor)
Brother - have both Low Shank and High Shank machines
Juki machines - are Low Shank
If you do not know what shank your machine is, all you need to do is lower your foot and then measure the height of the centre of the hole for the screw from the needle plate.

The Ruler foot is designed to float just above the quilt sandwich, there is no hopping mechanism to get in the way of your hands and impede your vision.
There is no need for a ruler foot to hop, you have more control and ease of movement with a foot that floats.
The Westalee Ruler Foot has a perfect 1/2" circle so that you can use your ruler from all sides and you can work inside and outside templates. with no flat spot in your quilting caused by the cut out at the front of the foot.
If you free motion you may have noticed that when using a free motion foot with a spring loaded hop or a free motion foot that hops on the needle bar screw, it can often cause problems and many people will modify the foot so that it no longer hops.
I have tried other feet and found that the hopping feet can often press to low on the quilt causing an uneven almost jerky motion.
Please note that the Ruler Foot shown is a prototype.

ReplyDeleteMy machine thread is breaking every few inches when using my new Ruler Foot. I don't have this problem with my Brother PQ1500S FMQ foot. I simply changed the my Brother foot to your foot. I made no other changes. I have changed the needle, tried different threads and tensions on the tension gauge. Do you have any ideas for me. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMine did too and changed thread, no more problems. Use wonderfil now and excellent results
DeleteI have the brother pq1500. I have tried everything! Just bought a hopping ruler foot and it's not picking up the bobbin thread at all. Have adjusted just about everything that can be adjusted. Regular FMQ is a breeze on my machine, but when using rulers, it skips stitches with old ruler foot and now worse with $60 hopping foot. HELP!!
